Everyday Mathematics® Common Core State Standards Edition ©2012 Assessment Differentiation System Visual Walk-through

Welcome Everyday Mathematics User! Thank you for purchasing the Everyday Mathematics program. As part of your purchase of the EM Online Deluxe eSuite, you have access to several new, cutting-edge technologies you can use to plan, teach, assess, differentiate, and intervene in your Everyday Mathematics classroom. One of the applications available to you is the Assessment Differentiation System (ADS). The ADS is an online tool that allows you to

record and monitor student progress on core program assessments;

view reports of student progress;

browse, assign, and print approximately 900 activities correlated to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and Grade-Level Goals;

author new quizzes, tests, and worksheets in the online Test Generator using thousands of items; and

administer online and offline assessments. This ADS Visual Walk-through illustrates the different types of screens that are part of the application. The screens are annotated to highlight features and functionalities of the application as well as its use with your Everyday Mathematics program. The Contents on the next page are linked to the appropriate sections later in this document. Just click on the link to view that section!
